It’s time.
Grab your bag I’ll start the car
We’re not going very far.
Yet, so far away from where we were
And there she was
A gift of life from up above
There were sleepless nights, but endless love
And days when everything felt wrong
I’d lay her down, safe and warm beside me
And as she grew, my love for her would blind me.
Long ago a child once graced the world around her
I’d sit and watch that little girl, with all that wonder in her eyes,
Protect her from a world there was no rush for her to see, she’d close those tired eyes to dream.
She’s growing
I teach her all she wants to know
So full of life, so full of hope
So full of dreams of where she’ll go
Out on her own
Chasing those dreams and far from home
But anywhere she goes she knows
That II’ll be here to hold her close
That little smile that made my world go round ,
Would lift me up and turn me upside down
Long ago a child once graced the world around her
I’d sit and watch that little girl, with all that wonder in her eyes,
Protect her from a world there was no rush for her to see, she’d close those tired eyes to dream.
And now she’s grown and learned to face it all without me
To build a life that goes beyond that little world that we once shared
Out there on her own, she’s taking on the world alone
But she’s not alone…
[instumental]
There she goes,
White dress and veil, look how she glows
She found a man to share her soul
She found a man who makes her whole.
With promises to have and hold each other
Through good and bad, their bond will just grow stronger.
Soon enough a child will grace the world around her
She’ll sit and watch that boy or girl with all that wonder in their eyes
Protect them from a world there is no rush for them to see
They’ll close their tired eyes to dream
To dream
With all that wonder in her eyes.
